Dear Mom...

from The Endlessly Elated Podcast · host Kathleen Pagan

This is the season finale of Season 1, and it’s a personal one. This episode is dropping just a day after the third anniversary of my mother’s passing. I didn’t plan it that way, but here we are. Dear Mom, is exactly what it sounds like. A love letter to the most important person in my life. An honest account of how I lost her. And the lessons she left behind, not just for me, but for anyone who has ever been shaped by someone they love. I share an excerpt from my cookbook proposal, written during the darkest days of my grief. This episode is about her. But somewhere in her story, I hope you find pieces of your own. If the details of loss feel tender for you today, skip to 09:58. The lessons begin there. As always, if this episode resonates and you’d like to support my work and listen to other episodes in their entirety, along with everything I share around food, design, and wellness, you can upgrade to paid here. I’d love to have you on the inside. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit endlesslyelated.substack.com/subscribe
